Tyler, The Creator, a popular modern hip hop and rap artist, released his new album “DON’T TAP THE GLASS” in July, featuring Pharrell Williams, Sk8brd, Madison Mcferrin and Yebba. Tyler usually switches between style genres and beats. This album reached number one on many album charts, like the Billboard 200.

With the release of Tyler’s new album, fans were curious why he released new music so soon after his last album was released just last October. Tyler has 30 million streams on Spotify, and the new album has about 93 million on-demand streams across all platforms. Within the first day of its release, the album had 40 million streams.

The album has 10 songs that make you want to stand up and dance. The best songs on the album are “Big Poe”, “Sugar on my Tongue”, “Ring Ring Ring”, and “Sucka Free”.

The opening track on the album is “Big Poe” with Pharrell Williams featuring Sk8brd. The song’s intro sounds like a robot telling you the rules of the album, with Tyler in the background agreeing with him. The lyric, “Number one, body movement (funky), No sitting still (dance, bro)” shows that the song wants you to dance to it and not sit still. The energy always stays the same, keeping you interested in the song. There are no major beat drops or pauses, which keeps the energy consistent.  He often repeats the lyric “I’m Big Poe” which is very unforgettable and is the song title. It’s unforgettable because it is repeated often and is the hook of the song. 

“Sugar on My Tongue” is also a very energetic song and makes you want to dance. In the song, there is a heavy beat and bass adding to Tyler’s voice. Many beats hit back and forth, which is very catchy and attention-grabbing. The lyrics keep the listener hooked on to the song. The song overall is very addictive, like most of his songs on the album.

“Ring Ring Ring” starts slow and quiet, but when the beat drops, the song speeds up, and a cellphone begins to ring in the background. Tyler, The Creator often repeats the lyric, “Ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring-ring, pick up the phone” as the phone rings in the background. This is very catchy and easy to get stuck in your head after one listen to the song.  

“Sucka Free” has a slower beat than the other songs, but it is still catchy and easy to move to. The lyric, “I’m that guy, tryna get my paper baby” is repeated and makes you want to sway your body to it during the whole song. 

Overall, this album is great and maybe one of the best albums he has produced.
